Discuss your logic with your IOE instructors and see what they think

If you are coming into land and it’s snowing and you turn off the runway before tower gives you instructions and you turn off into a closed taxiway (just because a taxiway is closed doesn’t mean it will barricaded) you just made a violation. I have heard of people being violated for this. Just one example.
Your probably the kinda of person I hear on the radio ask for the ILS to a runway at the last minute and the control says “it’s NOTAMED out of service” then there’s an awkward silence.

Better recheck those FLL notams that you already checked 3 hours ago when you left... honestly it’s like watching Fox News and MSNBC on here have a discussion. Do you think I read through every unlit tower and mark it on my iPad every time I go into Chicago? No. Do I scan through them to see if there’s anything runway or approach specific? Sure. The really pertinent safety related stuff is in the ATIS anyways. If you taxi over cones and flashers because you didn’t read the notams about a taxiway closure or you land on a closed runway because you didn’t read them you’re the weak link not to FO for not telling you.
Most of you guys spouting off on here need to take it easy. This job isn’t that hard. Take the stick out of your butt, find the strengths of your FOs, buy a few beers and an appetizer on the overnight, and do a good job without being an unbearable wanker and you’ll be just fine. Know the pertinent info and fly the airplane safely. No need to start bashing FOs and Captains and ruining CRM when 99% of ours do a great job. This forum may be anonymous but I don’t want the FOs that I’m working with me to show up thinking all our captains are like this.
